Guilty Pleasures: 75 New Yorker Cartoons Reprinted; Today’s Daily New Yorker Cartoonist: Tim Hamilton; Reminder: Roz Chast At The Strand Tonight; New York Times Op-Ed On The American Bystander; Gahan Wilson GoFundMe Campaign Over A Third Of The Way To Goal

PR from the publisher, The Oxford University Press:

In Guilty Pleasures, legal scholar Laura Little provides a multi-faceted account of American law and humor, looking at constraints on humor (and humor’s effect on law), humor about law, and humor in law.

To give you an idea of how massive this usage is, here are the drawings (with each cartoon’s artist and assigned Cartoon Bank number):
